Greenfields Petroleum Corporation (the "Company" or "Greenfields") (TSX VENTURE:GNF) announced that their operating division, Bahar Energy Operating Company Limited (BEOCL), will receive two rigs in March for doing workovers in the Gum Deniz Oil field and the Bahar Gas field, offshore Azerbaijan. One of these rigs is being configured to drill wells in Gum Deniz to provide for greater flexibility in the overall development of the fields in the Bahar Exploration, Rehabilitation, Development and Production Sharing Agreement.

When the rigs arrive in Azerbaijan, they will be commissioned in April and ready for operations at the first of May. The one rig being configured for drilling will have a top drive installed and larger mud pumps added to insure adequate capability for both effective drilling and workover operations. In addition, BEOCL is preparing to use a coiled tubing unit with specialty downhole mud motors to drill multilateral drain holes in existing wells starting in the beginning of the second quarter of this year.

John W. Harkins, President and Chief Executive Officer, commented "although the installation of the top drive and larger mud pumps postpones the operating start date of the first workover rig, the additional drilling capability will help us begin the drilling program in the oil field sooner than previously planned. Also, using the immediately available coiled tubing unit will allow us to improve the productivity in many of the older damaged wells".
